.FOREWORD 


O  record  the  celebration  of  the  Fortieth 
Anniversary  of  the  founding  of  the 
firm  0/^  WARNER  &^  SWASEY,  and  to 
present  briefly  the  history  of  the  de- 
velopment and  character  of  thebusiness, 
this  volume  is  published.  It  has  been  prepared  for 
distribution  to  the  members  and  employees  of  THE 
WARNER  fir9  SWASEY  COMPANY,  and  the  many  friends 
who  join  in  celebrating  this  occasion. 

Two  distinctive  periods  mark  the  development 
and  achievements  of  the  business — the  Partnership^ 
1880-1900;  and  the  (Corporation^  1900-1920.  After 
association  as  partners  for  twenty  years  ^  cJfrTr  W^arner 
andzjtfr  Swasey  recognized  that  to  realize  their  desire 
for  continued  development  ,t  hey  must  build  an  organi- 
zation that  would  carry  on  when  the  passing  of  time 
might  demand  a  lessening  of  their  individual  effort. 
The  corporation  which  resulted,  celebrates  on  this 
occasion  the  completion  of  its  twentiethyear^  and  at 
the  same  time^  the  fortieth  anniversary  of  the  original 
partnersh^ 


The  character  of  the  business  finds  expression  in 
the  succeeding  pages  of  this  book,  which  portray  some 
of  the  results  of  nearly  half  a  century  of  mechanical, 
engineering  and  scientific  progress. 

In  keeping  with  the  traditions  of  the  business,  it 
has, from  the  beginning,  been  the  policy  of  the  founders 
to  attain  the  highest  standards  in  its  product,  whether 
Machine  Tools,  great  Telescopes  or  other  instruments 
of  precision.  While  the  nature  of  the  product  has 
been  somewhat  varied,  its  high  standard  throughout 
has  been  invariable. 

On  this  anniversary  of  the  establishment  of  the 
business,  the  founders  are  happy  and  grateful  that 
it  has  been  their  privilege  to  lay  a  broad  and  solid 
foundation  of  lasting  achievement.  They  are 
also  keenly  appreciative  of  the  devotion  of 
their  employees  and  co-workers,  and  in 
the  spirit  of  friendly  celebration  offer 
this  book  as  a  symbol  of  mutual 
good  will  and  esteem

The 

FOUNDERS 


The  FOUNDERS 


N  this  fortieth  anniversary  of  the  partner- 
ship of  WORCESTER  R.  WARNER  and 
AMBROSE  SWASEY,  it  seems  fitting  that 
something  be  said  about  the  deeper  signifi- 
cance of  their  long  and  happy  association, 
which  covers,  altogether,  fifty-five  years. 
Rarely  have  two  lives  moved  with  such  unity  of  spirit 
and  purpose.  Although  they  did  not  know  each  other  until 
they  had  grown  to  be  young  men,  their  habits  of  study 
and  characters  appear  to  have  developed  in  astonishing 
parallel,  almost  from  boyhood.  Born  on  New  England 
farms,  in  the  same  year,  they  worked  on  the  land  like 
their  pioneer  ancestors  ;  and  that  pioneer  blood  in  them 
responded  equally  to  the  stirring  of  a  new  age  that  was 
taking  shape  during  their  boyhood — the  Age  of  Mechani- 
cal Achievements. 

The  two  farm  lads  felt  something  of  the  greatness  of 
the  new  day.  It  was  not  the  mechanic's  trade,  as  a  possible 
livelihood,  that  interested  them  chiefly,  it  was  Machinery 
as  a  means  to  an  end,  as  a  servant  to  mankind. 

Their  meeting  was  in  itself  one  of  the  many  parallelisms 
in  their  lives.  They  had,  independently,  determined  at 
about  the  same  time  to  leave  the  farm  for  industry,  and 
they  entered  the  same  machine  shop  as  apprentices  within 
a  few  months  of  one  another,  in  the  same  year,  at  the  same 
age  of  nineteen.  The  apprentice  in  those  days  was  viewed 
more  as  a  convenient  drudge  than  as  an  asset  to  be  made 
into  a  valuable  entity,  and  the  two  farmer  boys  had  the  same 
ample  lack  of  opportunities  as  their  comrades. 

-«B{  9  )§•»- 


But  machinery  was  being  produced  before  their  eyes,  and 
if  there  were  few  attempts  to  teach,  there  were  at  least  no 
attempts  to  prevent  them  from  learning.  What  one  thus 
learned,  he  passed  on  to  the  other.  Thus  the  interest  in 
and  knowledge  of  astronomy  on  the  part  of  one  of  the  lads 
inspired  the  other,  and  later  led  to  that  united  work  which 
was  to  grant  them  the  high  privilege  of  serving  that  great 
science.  The  Lick,  Yerkes,  United  States  Naval  and  Cana- 
dian telescopes  were  born  then,  though  the  two  apprentices 
did  not  dream  it. 

The  thousands  of  machine  tools  and  instruments  of  pre- 
cision that  have  been  produced  by  them  and  their  organiza- 
tions were  parts  of  the  same  conception  of  the  nobility  of 
labor  and  of  honorable  pride  in  execution.  That  their  suc- 
cess in  inventing  and  manufacturing  machine  tools  has  been 
augmented  by  the  construction  of  great  telescopes  is  only 
incidental.  The  great  measure  of  the  successful  human  life 
is  the  usefulness  of  its  deeds ;  and  it  is  in  that  sense  that  the 
scientific  achievements  fall  truly  into  place  with  all  else  that 
they  have  tried  to  do  in  their  long  partnership. 

In  this  fortieth  anniversary  celebration  their  deepest  hap- 
piness comes  not  from  the  extent  of  their  works,  or  from 
any  worldly  fame  that  has  accrued  to  them.  They  look 
back  over  the  long  span  with  gratitude  that  they  were  fortu- 
nate enough  to  go  measurably  in  the  right  way,  and  that,  as 
a  result,  the  world  is  able  to  do  some  useful  things  better 
than  they  had  been  done  before. 


WORCESTER  R.  WARNER 

Worcester  Reed  Warner  was  born  May  16,  1846,  near 
Cummington,  Massachusetts,  and  was  educated  in  the  rural 
district  school.  At  the  age  of  19  he  found  his  first 
employment  in  the  Boston  drafting  room  of  a  machine 
works,  but  soon  obtained  his  transfer  to  the  company's 
shops  in  Exeter,  New  Hampshire.  Here  he  made  friends 
with  Ambrose  Swasey,  and  on  the  completion  of  their 
apprenticeship  in  1870,  both  young  men  entered  the  em- 
ploy of  Pratt  &  Whitney  in  Hartford,  Connecticut. 

After  a  short  time,  Mr.  Warner  was  placed  in  charge  of 
one  of  the  firm's  largest  departments,  and  when  the 
Centennial  Exposition  was  held  in  Philadelphia  he  was 
entrusted  with  the  management  of  the  company's  exhibit 
there.  After  working  for  a  time  as  foreman,  he  undertook, 
according  to  the  custom  in  those  days,  to  build  machines 
under  contract,  and  he  attracted  attention,  among  other 
things,  by  greatly  reducing  the  production  time. 

Astronomy  had  been  his  delight  in  youth,  and  his  mother 
had  encouraged  his  study  and  inspired  him  to  construct 
crude  telescopic  models  with  such  means  as  were  available.  . 
He  continued  his  research  and  experimentation  during  his 
apprenticeship,  and  later  in  Hartford  he  succeeded  in 
finding  time  to  make  decided  progress.  A  mounting  for 
a  portable  telescope  which  he  constructed  then  during  his 
leisure  hours  was  so  successful  a  piece  of  apparatus  that 
he  followed  it  by  building  a  larger  and  more  powerful 
instrument. 

A  charter  member  of  the  American  Society  of  Mechanical 
Engineers,  he  was  its  President  in  1 897.  He  is  a  past  Presi- 
dent and  honorary  member  of  the  Cleveland  Engineering 
Society,  a  member  of  the  British  Astronomical  Society,  and 


of  the  American  Astronomical  and  Astrophysical  Society, 
a  Fellow  of  the  Royal  Astronomical  Society,  and  of  the 
American  Association  for  the  Advancement  of  Science. 
Among  other  honors  he  has  received  the  degree  of  Doctor 
of  Mechanical  Science. 

His  activity  in  the  business,  financial  and  general 
community  life  of  Cleveland  has  given  him  such  positions 
as  Vice  President  of  the  Society  for  Savings,  Director  of  The 
Guardian  Savings  and  Trust  Company,  member  of  the 
Advisory  Board  of  The  Citizens  Savings  and  Trust  Com- 
pany, trustee  of  Case  School  of  Applied  Science,  trustee  of 
Adelbert  College,  of  Western  Reserve  University  and  of  the 
Cleveland  School  of  Art,  member  of  the  Advisory  Board  of 
the  Cleveland  Museum  of  Art,  and  past  President  of  the 
Cleveland  Chamber  of  Commerce. 


AMBROSE  SWASEY 

Ambrose  Swasey,  born  near  Exeter,  New  Hampshire,  on 
December  igth,  1846,  obtained  his  school  education  from 
the  rural  district  school  and  developed  early  interest  in 
mechanical  problems,  experimenting  with  the  few  farm 
implements  of  the  time  and  growing  more  and  more  eager 
to  produce  intricate  machinery.  He  entered  his  apprentice- 
ship in  the  Exeter  Machine  Works  in  1865. 

After  he  entered  the  employ  of  Pratt  &  Whitney,  he 
perceived  and  studied  a  field  for  invention  in  the  unsatisfac- 
tory method  then  used  for  cutting  gears.  While  in  charge 
of  the  Gear  Cutting  Department  of  that  firm,  he  devised  and 
constructed  the  Epicycloidal  Milling  Machine  for  produc- 
ing true  theoretical  curves  from  which  cutters  for  gear  teeth 
are  made.  He  invented  also  a  new  gear-cutting  machine 
for  generating  and  at  the  same  time  cutting  the  teeth  of 
spur  gears,  the  process  being  a  solution  of  the  difficult 
problem  in  the  interchangeable  system  of  gearing. 

Among  his  later  contributions  to  science  is  the  design  of 
the  Warner  &  Swasey  Automatic  Dividing  Engine.  He  also 
invented  the  Swasey  Depression  Position  Finder  for  seacoast 
defense  fortifications. 

Many  honors  have  been  conferred  upon  Mr.  Swasey.  In 
1 900,  the  decoration  of  Chevalier  of  the  Legion  of  Honor 
was  bestowed  upon  him  by  the  French  Government.  In 
1905,  Case  School  of  Applied  Science,  Cleveland,  conferred 
upon  him  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Engineering,  and  in  1910 
he  received  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Science  from  Denison 
University,  Granville,  Ohio.  He  was  one  of  the  forty-eight 
men  who  organized  the  American  Society  of  Mechanical 
Engineers.  He  served  as  President  of  the  Society  in  1 904, 
and  in  1916  was  made  an  honorary  member.  He  is  a 


past  President  and  honorary  member  of  the  Cleveland 
Engineering  Society  and  a  member  of  the  National  Research 
Council.  His  connection  with  foreign  engineering  and 
scientific  societies  includes  membership  in  the  Institution  of 
Mechanical  Engineers  of  Great  Britain,  the  British  Astro- 
nomical Association,  and  he  is  a  Fellow  of  the  Royal 
Astronomical  Society. 

Mr.  Swasey  has  held  many  positions  of  trust  in  the  business 
world.  He  was  President  of  the  Cleveland  Chamber  of 
Commerce  in  1905,  and  has  always  been  deeply  interested 
in  civic  affairs.  He  served  as  a  member  of  the  Jury  of 
Awards  of  the  Nashville,  Pan-American  and  St.  Louis  Ex- 
positions and  as  Vice  President  of  the  Jury  of  Award  of  the 
Jamestown  Exposition. 

In  1914,  he  provided  the  initial  fund  which  established  the 
Engineering  Foundation  of  the  United  Engineering  Society 
— the  first  known  instance  of  a  foundation  devoted  to  engi- 
neering purposes  and  intended  for  promoting  the  good  of 
mankind  through  the  work  of  the  engineer  along  the 
broadest  lines. 


PARTNERSHIP 


The  PARTNERSHIP 


N  May  5, 1 880,  the  two  founders  established 
the  firm  of  WARNER  &  SWASEY,  their  initial 
investment  having  been  their  combined 
savings  up  to  that  time.  Four  young  men 
came  with  them  from  Connecticut  and 
formed  the  nucleus  of  the  new  organiza- 
tion. Their  first  venture  was  in  Chicago,  but  up  to  that 
time  few  skilled  mechanics  were  found  so  far  distant  from  the 
industrial  centers  of  New  England,  and  on  that  account 
the  business  was  removed  to  Cleveland  during  the  following 
year,  the  first  factory  building  having  been  constructed,  in 
1 88 1,  on  the  site  occupied  by  a  portion  of  the  present  plant. 
Their  first  order  was  for  ten  Hand  Lathes,  and  other 
orders  for  different  types  of  machines  soon  followed 
until  their  modest  resources  were  early  taxed  to  the  limit. 
Although  more  rapid  increase  in  volume  of  business  was 
perhaps  possible,  the  partners  from  the  beginning  determined 
to  adhere  to  their  ideals  of  workmanship  and  high  standard 
of  product. 

Labor-saving  machinery  formed  an  important  part  of 
their  product  from  the  beginning.  During  the  early  years 
machines  for  milling  the  cams  of  sewing  machines  were 
designed  and  constructed,  as  well  as  other  machines  for 
the  manufacture  of  sewing  machines.  Vertical  milling 
machines  for  die  sinking  and  similar  work,  were  also  made 
in  considerable  quantity.  Later  a  horizontal  boring  machine 
was  added,  and  proved  to  be  an  important  addition. 

The  Turret  Lathe  was  destined  from  the  beginning  to 
be  the  principal  product  of  the  firm.      In  due  course,  the 

19  ]§•-- 


line  of  standard  Turret  Lathes  was  established  by  the  addition 
of  various  sizes  and  styles,  including  hand  Screw  Machines. 

Much  attention  was  later  given  to  highly  developed 
brass-working  machine  tools.  The  Automatic  Boring  and 
Tapping  Machine  was  brought  out  for  simultaneously 
machining  the  two  ends  of  globe  valves.  The  introduction 
of  the  air  brake  led  to  the  design  and  construction  of  an 
Automatic  Angle  Boring  and  Tapping  Machine.  About 
the  same  time  there  were  brought  out  the  Taper  Key 
Turning  Lathe  and  the  Cock  Grinding  Machine. 

The  extent  to  which  the  design  and  construction  of  special 
purpose  machines  had  been  undertaken  and  the  demand 
for  the  services  of  the  firm  as  engineers  in  this  field,  made 
necessary  the  further  specialization  in  the  standard  product, 
and  this  era  was  marked  by  the  adaptation  of  the  Turret 
Lathe  to  large  quantity  production  of  duplicate  parts  in  the 
bicycle  and  other  industries.  Another  important  develop- 
ment about  this  time  was  the  introduction  of  Turret  Lathes 
into  the  European  countries,  in  unprecedented  quantities, 
until  the  exports  to  these  countries  resulted  in  further 
specialization  in  product  and  marked  increase  in  production. 

But  the  business  was  not  destined  to  be  devoted  exclu- 
sively to  Machine  Tools.  The  first  telescope  to  be  designed 
and  constructed  by  the  partners  was  a  9^ -inch  Equatorial, 
completed  in  1881,  this  venture  having  been  made  possible 
by  available  earnings  from  the  early  orders  for  machine  tools. 
The  application  of  the  genius  and  experience  of  the  partners 
in  producing  mechanical  work  of  the  highest  order,  com- 
bined with  their  exceptional  interest  in  engineering  and 
science,  resulted  in  marked  improvements  in  the  design  and 
construction  of  telescopes  as  made  up  to  that  time.  The 
success  of  this  first  telescope  served  to  create  added  interest

WALTER  M.  ALLEN,  Works  Manager, 

JVlR.  ALLEN  began  his  apprenticeship  in  1885  and  early  displayed 
exceptional  interest  and  aptitude  in  mechanical  problems.  In  recognition 
of  his  ability  he  was  given  the  opportunity  to  serve  a  portion  of  his 
apprenticeship  in  the  drawing  room,  where  he  progressed  so  rapidly 
that  in  1891  he  was  appointed  head  of  the  department.  The  higher 
development  of  the  Machine  Tools  produced  was  notable  during  the 
period  of  his  administration  and  he  was  also  closely  related  to  .the  design 
and  construction  of  large  telescopes.  In  1893,  when  27  years  of  age, 
he  was  made  Superintendent.  In  1900,  he  was  elected  a  Director  of 
the  Company;  and  in  1905,  he  became  Works  Manager,  which  posi- 
tion he  filled  until  his  untimely  death  in  1909. 


WILLIAM  E.  REED,  Secretary,  1900-1905 

]VtR.  REED  came  with  the  firm  in  1892,  and  was  in  charge  of  the 
office  and  correspondence.  In  1893  he  was  appointed  the  firm's 
representative  at  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition,  Chicago,  in 
charge  of  the  instrument  exhibit  including  the  4o-inch  Yerkes  Tele- 
scope. For  several  years  he  was  in  charge  of  advertising  and  did  much 
editorial  and  publicity  work.  In  1900  he  was  the  representative  in 
charge  of  both  the  Machine  Tool  and  Instrument  Exhibits  at  the  Paris 
Exposition.  On  the  incorporation  of  the  business  in  1900,  Mr.  Reed  was 
elected  a  Director  and  Secretary,  which  positions  he  held  until  1905, 
when  ill  health  caused  his  partial  retirement  and  his  resignation  in  1909. 


WILLIAM  S.  LANE 

JV1.R.  LANE  was  one  of  the  four  men  who  at  the  beginning  of  the 
partnership  came  in  1880  with  the  principals  from  Hartford  and 
located  in  Chicago.  For  many  years  he  was  the  head  Pattern-maker, 
and  as  the  business  increased  he  trained  and  managed  the  growing  force 
in  this  department.  At  the  time  of  the  formation  of  the  corporation, 
he  was  foreman  of  the  Pattern  Shop,  which  position  he  held  until 
1914,  when  ill  health  compelled  him  to  give  up  active  work.  His 
death  occurred  in  1915,  while  still  in  the  service  of  the  Company. 


GOTTLIEB  L.  PECKER 

IVlR.  FECKER  became  associated  with  the  firm  in  1895,  as  designer 
of  precision  instruments  and  theoretical  optician,  and  was  made  Superinten- 
dent of  the  Instrument  Department.  Among  his  early  contributions  of 
especial  note  was  his  work  in  the  perfecting  of  the  4O-inch  Automatic 
Dividing  Engine.  In  addition  to  his  accomplishments  in  connection 
with  astronomical  instruments,  he  gave  much  attention  to  research 
work  and  the  development  of  military  instruments  of  precision  for  the 
Army  and  Navy.  For  his  contributions  in  the  design  and  construction 
of  the  instruments  exhibited  by  the  company  at  the  great  Expositions, 
Mr.  Fecker,  as  collaborator,  received  awards.  Because  of  ill  health  it 
became  necessary  for  him,  in  1916,  to  retire  from  active  association 
with  the  Company. 


24  )»••- 


in  that  direction,  and  during  the  several  years  following 
numerous  contracts  came  to  them  for  the  construction  of 
other  instruments. 

The  first  of  these  great  engines  of  science  which  the  new 
firm  designed  and  constructed  was  the  36-inch  Refracting 
Telescope  of  the  Lick  Observatory,  Mount  Hamilton,  Cali- 
fornia, which  was  erected  during  the  winter  of  1886-1887. 
This  was  the  largest  refracting  telescope  constructed  up  to 
that  time,  and  was  the  first  to  be  adapted  to  the  triple 
purposes  of  visual,  photographic  and  spectroscopic  work. 
This  instrument  proved  so  satisfactory  that  the  government 
commissioned  the  firm  to  construct  a  mounting  similar  in 
design  for  the  26-inch  objective  of  the  United  States  Naval 
Observatory,  Washington,  and  later  they  were  entrusted 
with  the  task  of  designing  and  constructing  the  4o-inch 
telescope,  as  well  as  the  9o-foot  dome  and  the  75-foot 
elevating  floor,  for  the  Yerkes  Observatory,  Williams  Bay, 
Wisconsin.  This  latter  instrument  remains  the  largest 
refracting  telescope  yet  constructed. 

Transits,  meridian  circles,  astronomical  and  other  instru- 
ments of  extreme  accuracy  have  also  held  a  large  place  in 
the  firm's  work.  The  design  and  construction  of  these  types 
of  precision  instruments  represent  the  highest  order  of 
mechanical  and  scientific  achievement,  and  involve  the  per- 
fecting of  methods  and  mechanisms  to  a  degree  of  refinement 
almost  beyond  the  range  of  understanding. 

One  of  the  most  important  of  these  achievements  was  the 
construction  of  a  Dividing  Engine  for  automatically  graduating 
circles  of  40  inches  or  less  in  diameter,  requiring  the  greatest 
accuracy,  such  as  are  necessary  for  astronomical  and  other 
instruments.  The  severest  tests  show  that  the  greatest  errors 
of  this  engine  are  less  than  one  second  of  arc.  A  second  of 

25  fr~ 


arc  subtends  about  one-third  of  an  inch  at  the  distance  of  one 
mile.  Although  the  graduations  on  the  inlaid  silver  band 
of  this  machine  are  so  fine  that  they  can  scarcely  be  seen 
with  the  naked  eye,  the  width  of  each  line  is  twelve  times 
the  maximum  error  in  the  automatic  graduations  which 
the  machine  produces.  This  machine  has  proved  to  be  the 
most  accurate  in  existence. 

During  the  Spanish-American  War,  in  1898,  the  firm 
was  asked  to  undertake  the  manufacture  of  military  instru- 
ments of  precision,  and  it  gave  considerable  attention  to  the 
impending  needs  in  that  class  of  equipment.  As  a  result  of 
this  service  to  the  Government,  many  of  the  military  problems 
in  optical  instruments,  including  especially  the  fire  control 
of  guns,  were  from  time  to  time  presented  to  the  firm  for 
solution  and  subsequently  numerous  important  instruments 
were  designed  and  manufactured  for  this  purpose. 

Some  evidence  of  merit  of  the  Machine  Tools  and 
Astronomical  Instruments  produced  during  the  time  of  the 
partnership  (1880-1900)  may  be  found  in  the  reproductions 
in  this  book  of  medals  and  diplomas  awarded  to  the  firm  for 
exhibits  made  at  the  Paris  Exposition,  1 889,  and  the  World's 
Columbian  Exposition,  Chicago,  1893.

The  CORPORATION 


N  1900,  the  business  which  for  twenty 
years  had  been  conducted  as  a  partnership, 
was  incorporated  under  the  name  of 
The  Warner  &  Swasey  Company.  This 
change  was  desirable  on  account  of  the 
growth  of  the  business  and  to  better  provide 
for  a  larger  organization  and  further  expansion  in  facilities. 
Before  this  time  the  product  of  the  firm  had  been  thor- 
oughly established  in  a  standardized  line  of  Machine  Tools 
and  also  as  designers  and  constructors  of  Astronomical  Instru- 
ments. While  the  latter  proved  to  be  a  highly  important 
adjunct  with  respect  to  the  character  of  work  involved,  yet 
in  relative  importance  in  volume  of  business,  it  was  only 
incidental. 

Recognizing  early  the  new  era  in  industrial  development 
and  the  relationship  of  modern  machine  tools  to  the  growth 
of  industry,  plans  were  made  soon  after  the  time  of  incor- 
poration for  the  complete  reconstruction  of  the  plant,  which 
was  not  only  greatly  enlarged,  but  completely  modernized, 
as  was  also  the  equipment. 

The  Hollow  Hexagon  Turret  Lathe  was  first  introduced 
in  1900,  following  a  period  of  thorough  development. 
This  type  of  machine  represented  greatly  advanced  practice, 
and  was  designed  and  constructed  with  special  reference  to 
the  maximum  production  of  which  the  new  high-speed 
tool  steels  were  capable.  The  Hollow  Hexagon  turret,  an 
original  and  perhaps  the  most  characteristic  feature  of  the 
machine,  together  with  other  new  features,  served  at  once  to 
establish  the  machine  in  a  distinctive  place. 

-<«{  27  ]»•- 


In  1911,  the  Universal  Hollow  Hexagon  Turret  Lathe 
was  brought  out,  embodying  an  independent  cross  and  longi- 
tudinal carriage  for  simultaneous  operation  with  the  turret, 
and  adapting  the  machine  to  a  wide  range  of  both  bar  and 
chucking  work.  New  production  standards  were  again 
established  generally,  by  these  improvements  introduced  in 
advance  of  the  practice  of  the  most  progressive  users  of 
machine  tools. 

Improved  designs  of  the  plain  types  of  Turret  Lathes  kept 
these  machines  in  increasing  demand  for  large  quantity 
production  of  the  simpler  classes  of  work  requiring  single 
purpose  machines  equipped  with  highly  specialized  tool 
equipments,  and  also  for  small  lot  production  with  general 
tooling. 

To  better  serve  our  customers  and  in  order  to  meet  the 
rapidly  changing  conditions  as  related  to  machine  tools,  the 
new  organization,  following  the  incorporation  of  the  com- 
pany, included  most  comprehensive  sales  plans.  Accordingly, 
during  the  last  score  of  years  the  Sales  Organization  was 
established  and  constantly  increased,  including  branch  offices 
in  the  leading  industrial  centers  of  the  country.  At  the  same 
time  much  attention  has  been  given  to  the  sale  of  machine 
tools  in  foreign  countries  until  the  export  business  of  the  com- 
pany has  been  extended  to  all  the  principal  countries  of 
the  world. 

The  earlier  achievements  in  producing  telescopes  and 
other  instruments  were  augmented  by  numerous  important 
contracts.  The  most  notable  among  these  achievements 
were  the  further  development  of  military  instruments  for  the 
Government  and  the  design  and  construction  of  the  72- 
inch  Reflecting  Telescope  for  the  Dominion  Astrophysical 
Observatory  of  Canada.

Early  in  the  last  decade,  in  continuation  of  the  work 
undertaken  for  the  Army  and  the  Navy  following  the 
Spanish-American  war,  additional  instruments  were  designed 
and  manufactured,  including  Range  Finders,  Gun  Sight 
Telescopes,  Azimuth  Instruments,  Field  Telescopes,  Tele- 
scopic Musket  Sights,  Prism  Binoculars,  and  so  forth. 

The  contract  for  the  72-inch  Reflecting  Telescope  was 
undertaken  in  1913  and  the  instrument  completed  and 
installed  three  years  later.  This  great  instrument  weighs  55 
tons,  has  a  tube  30  feet  long  and  7  feet  4  inches  in  diameter, 
and  is  specially  adapted  to  astrophysical  research,  including 
spectroscopic,  photographic  and  visual  work.  In  size,  this 
telescope  is  exceeded  only  by  one  other  yet  constructed. 

Among  other  important  instrument  projects  may  be 
mentioned  the  6o-inch  Reflecting  Telescope,  now  being 
designed  for  the  Observatorio  Astronomico  de  la  Nacion 
Argentina.  Upon  completion  and  installation  of  this  instru- 
ment, it  will  be  the  largest  telescope  in  South  America,  and 
one  of  the  four  largest  reflectors  in  the  world. 

Awards  received  during  this  period  (1900-1920)  on 
exhibits  of  Machine  Tools  and  Astronomical  Instruments, 
included  the  Paris  Exposition,  1900;  Pan-American  Ex- 
position, Buffalo,  1901;  Universal  Exposition,  St.  Louis, 
1904,  and  the  Panama-Pacific  International  Exposition, 
San  Francisco,  1915. 

The  Warner  &  Swasey  Course  in  Mechanical  Training 
as  now  constituted  represents  twoscore  years  of  development. 
Nearly  forty  years  ago  Mr.  Warner  and  Mr.  Swasey  began 
to  train  apprentices.  The  early  apprentice  course  has  been 
greatly  extended,  including  every  class  of  skilled  machine 
shop  work.  A  supervisor  of  apprentices  supplements  the 
instruction  customarily  given  in  shop  methods,  thus  making 
the  practical  training  most  thorough.  In  addition,  the  company, 

33  gi~- 


in  1911,  established  in  the  factory,  under  the  direction  of  a 
technical  instructor,  an  Apprentice  School  for  the  purpose  of 
augmenting  the  practical  training  by  the  study  of  drafting, 
mathematics,  mechanics,  materials  and  other  related  subjects 
needed  for  the  highest  development  of  an  apprentice. 

Many  important  positions  in  the  Company  are  now  held 
by  graduate  apprentices,  including  the  Works  Engineer, 
Superintendent,  Assistant  Superintendent,  Production  Engi- 
gineer,  Foreman  of  Drafting  Room,  Employment  Manager, 
and  District  Sales  Manager,  together  with  many  Foremen, 
Inspectors  and  others.  Still  other  graduate  apprentices  have 
gone  to  important  positions  elsewhere,  or  established  them- 
selves in  business,  with  commendable  success. 

The  training  of  men  has  been  regarded  as  even  of  greater 
importance  than  the  development  of  the  product  and  the 
plant.  This  training  has  not  only  included  mechanics,  but 
also  engineers,  sales  representatives,  as  well  as  nearly  all  of 
the  higher  executives  in  the  organization. 

In  1909,  Mr.  Frank  A.  Scott  became  associated  in  the 
business  as  Secretary  and  Treasurer,  and  at  the  same  time 
was  made  a  Director  of  the  Company.  In  1916,  he  was 
elected  Vice  President  and  now  occupies  that  position. 
In  addition  to  his  qualities  of  leadership,  he  brought  into 
the  organization  his  extensive  experience  as  Secretary  of 
the  Cleveland  Chamber  of  Commerce  and  later  as  Secre- 
tary and  Treasurer  and  Vice  President  of  the  Superior 
Savings  &  Trust  Company,  Cleveland,  and  also  subsequently 
as  Receiver  of  the  Municipal  Traction  Company,  Cleveland. 

Reference  to  the  service  of  the  company  during  the 
European  war  period  will  be  found  on  following  pages  of 
this  book,  under  the  heading  of  "War  Record  "  and  of  the 
military  service  of  its  employees,  under  the  heading  of 
"Honor  Roll."

DISTINGUISHED  for  LONG  SERVICE 


HIS  book  would  be  incomplete  without  an 
acknowledgment  of  appreciation  to  em- 
ployees distinguished  for  long  service,  and 
it  is  a  happy  privilege  to  record  in  this 
anniversary  publication  the  names  of  the 
men  and  women  who,  by  their  service  of 
more  than  a  decade,  have  merited  this  distinction.  Each 
by  his  ability  and  loyalty  has  contributed  to  the  up-building 
of  the  organization. 

Here  are  found  the  names  of  those  whose  abilities  have 
made  them  foremen  and  executives  and  also  those  who 
preferred  the  lesser  prominence,  but  equal  importance  of 
loyal  application  to  their  respective  duties.  Each  justly 
may  take  pride  in  the  leadership  he  exercises.  Efficient 
service  and  long  service  have  combined  to  make  these  men 
and  women  exemplary  members  of  the  organization  of 
which  they  are  a  part. 

Favorable  mention  should  also  be  made  of  the  large 
number  of  employees  who  have  been  in  the  service  for  lesser 
periods  of  time,  who  have  contributed  largely  to  the  develop- 
ment of  the  organization.  The  company  is  profoundly  inter- 
ested in  the  part  which  it  has  had  in  the  preparation  of  any 
of  its  employees  for  places  of  greater  usefulness.  • 

We  hope  and  believe  that  the  organization  which  cele- 
brates with  us  the  fortieth  anniversary  of  the  founding  of  the 
business  is  based  on  that  spirit  of  increasing  and  faithful 
service  to  the  world,  which  has  become  more  than  ever  the 
great  need  of  mankind.

PRESENT 


FRANK  A.  SCOTT,  Vice  President 
"The past  at  least  is  secure" 

HE  achievements  of  twoscore  years  have 
passed  into  history.  The  structure  created 
by  forty  years  of  effort;  the  character  which 
an  organization  develops  from  the  nature 
of  its  directing  forces;  the  standing  of 
a  name  in  trade  and  industry,  and  in  the 


world  of  finance,  which  represents  the  total  of  both  char- 
acter and  performance,  must  be  upheld  and  carried  on  by 
men  too  young  to  have  done  more  than  contribute  to  that 
for  which  they  must  become  responsible. 

Will  this  organization  be  able  to  maintain  the  high 
standards  now  established;  will  it  be  able  to  build  still 
higher  the  dignified  structure  already  created;  will  it  be 
found  to  have  within  itself  the  power  of  continuous  develop- 
ment; will  its  services  be  worthy  of  the  name  it  bears? 

To  answer  these  questions  in  the  negative  would  be  to 
reflect  at  once  upon  those  who  now  compose  the  organiza- 
tion and  upon  the  men  who  are  responsible  for  its  existence. 
To  have  created  a  business,  sustained  by  a  group  of  trained 
industrialists,  and  not  to  have  provided  within  it  that 
power  which  would  make  it  self-perpetuating,  would  not 
have  evidenced  either  wisdom  or  capacity.  Fortunately, 
the  entire  history  of  the  forty  years  we  now  celebrate 
testifies  to  recognition  of  the  need  for  developing  men. 
The  apprentice  school  has  supplied  the  renewals  needed 
within  the  body  that  has  supported  it,  and  has  made  liberal 


contributions   of  trained   and  talented  men  to  the   metal 
working  industry  generally. 

The  sales  organization  has  grown  outward  from  the 
parent  body,  until  now  it  ramifies  into  every  State  in 
the  Union  and  Canada ;  into  England  and  Europe,  South 
America,  Australia,  China,  India,  Japan;  indeed  into  the 
four  corners  of  the  earth. 

The  personnel  of  our  official  staff  is  made  up  almost 
entirely  of  men  who  have  developed,  within  the  organiza- 
tion, from  humble  positions,  to  the  offices  which  they 
now  fill. 

Machine  tool  makers  are  practical  men — if  they  dream, 
such  dreams  must  take  form  in  drawings,  wood  and  metal 
before  the  world  can  recognize  value  in  them.  Never- 
theless, even  a  dreamer  would  hardly  have  dared  to  predict 
what  the  present  generation  of  machine  tool  workers  has 
seen  come  true  within  the  years  spanned  by  its  own 
experience.  The  history  of  mechanical  progress  within 
the  twoscore  years  covered  by  the  life  of  this  organization 
is  so  marvellous  as  to  test  credulity. 

As  the  increasing  use  of  iron  and  steel  in  the  past  neces- 
sitated more  efficient  machine  tools,  so  will  the  need  of 
the  future  be  for  machines  to  perform  work  which  may 
now  seem  impossible.  We  are  at  the  threshold  of  an  era 
of  bigger  things  in  metal  working. 

From  the  years  when  wood  was  a  generally  used  and 
acceptable  material  for  many  purposes,  when  metal  was 
required  but  rarely,  compared  to  its  uses  today,  this  business 
has  come  into  a  period  which  the  future  will  recognize 
as  distinctly  a  rnetal  age.  The  machines  originally  designed 
were  for  use  on  brass,  cast  iron  or  a  steel  of  known  character, 
limited  in  the  degree  of  its  possible  variability.  Today, 


the  uses  of  these  machines  have  been  expanded  in  propor- 
tion to  the  world  development  of  forty  years.  Brass  is 
still  one  of  those  materials  commonly  worked  on ;  cast  iron 
also,  but  added  to  the  list  we  find  steel  forgings,  aluminum, 
hard  rubber,  ebonite ;  the  steels  of  the  days  of  old  and  alloys 
of  infinite  variety. 

If  we  are  at  times  inclined  to  feel  the  commonplace  in 
our  calling,  let  us  remember  that  these  changes  in  the 
mechanical  arts,  which  our  business  had  helped  to  make 
possible,  represent  the  steady  onward  march  of  the  human 
race  toward  a  broader  and  happier  existence.  Let  us 
remember  that  the  sometimes  hard  and  prosaic  tasks  of  our 
daily  lives  are  all  woven  into  this  great  romance  of  human 
progress;  and,  immediately,  we  recognize  the  dignity  of 
labor  and  the  glory  of  practical  achievement.  The  machine 
tool  then  becomes  one  of  the  instruments  contributing  to 
human  welfare,  without  which  the  peoples  of  the  earth 
would  perhaps  still  have  been  'way  back  on  the  road, 
lumbering  along  in  ox-carts  with  solid  wooden  wheels. 

Added  to  this,  we  enjoy  the  peculiar  satisfaction  of 
knowing  that  not  only  the  mechanical  world,  but  the 
scientific  world  also,  has  received  contributions  from 
the  genius  and  efforts  of  this  group  of  workers.  The 
knowledge  of  the  universe  which  mankind  possesses  has 
been  increased  by  our  efforts,  for  nightly,  the  eyes  of 
earnest  men  in  many  lands  search  the  skies  through  instru- 
ments that  are  the  product  of  this  plant  and  this  organization, 
and  report  their  discoveries  to  all  men. 

We  find,  within  this  organization,  inventive  brains  to 
design  and  develop  a  product  that  keeps  pace  with  the 
advance  in  mechanical  arts;  skilled  hands  to  work  out 
that  product;  trained  minds  and  aggressive  spirits  to  present 


it  to  the  industrial  world;  financial  men  to  study  and 
direct  the  economics  of  the  business  and  administrators  to 
co-ordinate  these  activities  and  to  formulate  policies  which 
shall  govern  all. 

All  this,  to  endure,  must  rest  on  character;  on  honest 
endeavor  in  each  of  these  fields;  on  a  sincere  purpose  to 
serve  worthily;  on  acceptance  of  the  belief  that  to  have 
purpose  and  to  serve  means  to  live,  and  to  be  without  pur- 
pose means  to  die. 

"The  Present/'  to  me  encompasses  all  these  and  many 
other  things  unexpressed.  My  confidence  is  serene  that 
the  men  and  women  who  now  make  up  what  we  call  "the 
organization"  feel  and  believe  all  these  things;  that  when 
another  forty  years  shall  have  rolled  around,  the  young 
men  and  women  of  that  day  will  be  as  proud  of  eighty 
years  of  WARNER  &  SWASEY  history  as  we  are  today  of 
forty,  and  will  be  viewing  their  future  steady-eyed  and  as 
ready  as  are  we,  "to  greet  the  unknown  with  a  cheer."

ORGANIZATION 


L.  B.  STAUFFER,  Secretary 

L.  B.  Stauffer  entered  the  employ  of  the  company  in  1896,  as 
a  general  assistant  in  correspondence  and  accounting.  In  1900,  he 
became  the  chief  office  executive,  including  charge  of  the  corres- 
pondence for  both  the  Machine  Tool  and  Instrument  Departments. 
His  responsibilities  subsequently  included  also  the  Advertising, 
Credit  and  Purchasing  Departments.  For  more  than  twenty  years  he 
has  been  directly  and  continuously  associated  with  the  principals  of 
the  company  in  the  administration  of  the  business.  In  1914,  he  was 
made  Assistant  Secretary  of  the  company.  In  1915,  he  became  a 
Director,  fand*  in  the  following  year  was  elected  Secretary,  which

the  Accounting  Department.  Two  years  later  he  was  appointed 
Cashier,  and  in  1915  was  made  Auditor.  In  this  capacity  he  made 
a  special  study  of  matters  pertaining  to  taxes  of  all  kinds,  and  is  a 
recognized  authority  on  such  questions.  In  addition  to  his  financial 
duties,  he  has  been  associated  in  problems  of  organization.  He  was

two  years  as  the  Manager  of  European  Sales  and  in  the  study 
of  European  machine  tool  markets.  Returning  in  1914,  he 
was  made  Sales  Manager,  and  the  latter  part  of  the  same  year 
made  another  trip  to  Europe,  remaining  until  1915.  In  1919, 
he  made  another  tour  of  Europe  to  study  the  conditions  in  those 
countries  immediately  following  the  war.  As  Sales  Manager  he  took 
a  leading  part  in  developing  the  volume  of  sales  both  in  domestic  and 
foreign  markets.  In  recognition  of  the  service  rendered,  he  was 
made  General  Sales  Manager,  in  1919.

WAR  RECORD 


N  modern  warfare,  machinery  is  second  in 
importance  only  to  men.  The  Warner  & 
Swasey  Company  contributed  both.  For 
two  and  a  half  years  before  the  United 
States  entered  the  war,  this  plant  poured 
out  a  constant  stream  of  machine  tools 
and  instruments  for  use  in  munitions  factories  or  on  the 
battlefields  of  Europe.  When  our  country  became  a  bellig- 
erent, this  organization,  as  is  shown  elsewhere  in  this 
volume,  gave  of  its  personnel  in  equally  generous  measure. 
Four  of  the  brave  men  who  went  forth  from  this  plant  to 
the  conflict  gave  their  lives  for  their  country. 

Within  a  few  weeks  after  the  beginning  of  the  war, 
machine  tools  were  generally  recognized  as  one  of  the 
limiting  factors  in  war  preparations,  since  the  production  of 
munitions  was  restricted  by  the  available  equipment  of  ma- 
chine tools.  This  crucial  condition  resulted  in  the  necessity 
for  increasing  the  manufacture  of  machine  tools  to  corre- 
spond with  the  unprecedented  war  demand.  The  turret 
lathes  made  by  this  company  were  used  for  the  manufacture 
of  gun  parts,  rifle  parts,  pistol  parts,  fuses,  shells,  hand 
grenades,  cartridges,  gas  containers,  gas  masks  and  many 
hundreds  of  similar  parts.  They  were  used  by  the  original 
plant  constructing  tanks;  and  by  practically  every  American 
maker  of  Liberty  motors  or  other  airplane  motors,  as  well  as 
by  practically  every  Arsenal  and  Navy  Yard.  Large  quantities 
of  machines  were  supplied  to  the  important  munitions  plants 
in  England,  France,  Italy  and  Russia,  particularly  during  the 
first  two  years  of  the  war. 


53  »~ 


During  the  first  two  years  of  the  war,  the  Company,  in 
addition  to  its  production  of  turret  machines,  supplied  the 
Allies  with  a  considerable  quantity  of  binoculars  and  tele- 
scopic musket  sights.  After  our  country  entered  the  war, 
the  demand  for  machine  tools  was  so  much  greater  that,  in 
the  opinion  of  the  officers  of  the  Company,  it  was  desirable 
both  from  the  standpoint  of  machine  tool  production  and 
the  Company's  interests,  that  the  entire  plant  and  organi- 
zation be  devoted  to  turret  lathe  manufacture. 

Early  in  the  summer  of  1917,  however,  both  the  War 
and  Navy  Departments  decided  that  the  instrument  section 
of  the  plant  must  be  devoted  to  the  production  of  military 
instruments.  The  three  instruments  which  the  Government 
desired  from  this  plant  were  Naval  Gun  Sights,  Telescopic 
Musket  Sights  and  Panoramic  Sights.  Of  these,  the  one  most 
important,  as  well  as  most  difficult  of  manufacture,  was 
the  Panoramic  Sight.  This  instrument  is  used  for  the  direc- 
tion of  field  artillery  fire,  and,  during  the  period  of  the 
greatest  stress,  was  placed  first  in  priority  of  all  fire-control 
instruments  required  for  both  the  Army  and  Navy.  Prior 
to  the  war,  the  sight  had  been  produced  only  in  small  quan- 
tities and  the  output  was  greatly  restricted  on  account  of  the 
very  difficult  problems  involved  in  its  manufacture.  In  fact, 
large  quantity  production  of  the  sight,  corresponding  to  the 
production  of  field  guns  and  other  equipments,  was  considered 
impracticable.  Here,  again,  the  use  of  fine  turret  lathes  and 
tooling  equipments  provided  by  The  Warner  &  Swasey 
Company  were  in  marked  evidence.  In  addition,  however, 
the  Company  had  the  advantage  of  its  experience  in  the 
design  and  construction  of  instruments  of  precision,  which 
made  possible  the  most  complete  equipment  of  special 
machinery,  tools,  fixtures,  etc.  Briefly,  the  result  was  the 

-<*(  54 


production  of  the  Panoramic  Sight  in  a  manner  and  on  a 
scale  so  satisfactory  as  to  receive  from  our  Government  the 
Certificate  of  Merit  shown  below. 

This  was  accompanied  by  the  following  citation  by  the 
Chief  of  Ordnance,  as  follows: 

"For  exceptionally  rapid  development  of  manufacturing  methods 
and  quantity  production  on  a  vast  scale  of  Panoramic  Sights'*

FRANK  A.  SCOTT 

In  March,  1917,  Secretary  of  War  Baker,  Chairman  of 
the  Council  of  National  Defense,  appointed  Mr.  Scott  to  the 
chairmanship  of  the  Munitions  Standards  Board,  Council  of 
National  Defense.  On  March  3ist,  the  Council  called  him 
to  the  additional  post  of  Chairman  of  the  General  Munitions 
Board,  a  co-ordinating  body  of  army  and  navy  officers  of 
high  rank  and  of  representative  business  men,  working  in 
co-operation  with  the  War  and  Navy  Departments. 

The  effective  assistance  rendered  by  this  Board  in  the  early 
months  of  our  participation  in  the  war,  is  generally  recog- 
nized. Without  its  expert  aid  in  locating  and  creating  new 
sources  of  supply  and  production,  and  in  promoting  co- 
ordination between  the  several  governmental  departments, 
as  well  as  between  American  manufacturers  and  government, 
the  United  States  would  have  been  delayed  indefinitely  in 
constructing  cantonments,  and  in  placing  the  masses  of 
contracts  for  the  vitally  essential  small  arms,  artillery,  ammu- 
nition and  equipments. 

The  work  and  effectiveness  of  the  General  Munitions 
Board  made  evident  the  opportunity  for  a  larger  body,  with 
still  greater  powers;  and  this  need  was  met  by  President 
Wilson  in  August,  1917,  when  he  created  the  War  Industries 
Board.  Mr.  Scott  was  appointed  to  the  chairmanship  of  this 
Board,  and  the  work  of  the  General  Munitions  Board  was 
merged  with  the  broader  duties  of  the  new  body. 

The  Distinguished  Service  Medal  was  awarded  to  him  in 
June,  1919,  by  the  President,  with  the  citation: 

"  For  exceptionally  meritorious  and  conspicuous  services  in  assisting  and 
organizing  and  as  Chairman  of  the  Munitions  Standards  Board  and  The 
General  Munitions  Board.  He  was  later  first  Chairman  of  the  War 
Industries  Board.  He  thus  contributed  greatly  in  developing  the 
War  Department's  programs."
